Second Course

I suppose, one one way, the best description of the last months is the near-total lack of blog updates. Eyeballing the blog archive posts-per-year count tells a story.

For the benefit of readers only getting their news from this outlet, let me skip to the punchline: we're having another baby. Tomorrow.

Looking back, this fact has totally escaped mention on the blog. That neatly sums up what it like to be pregnant and have a 2 year old: no time for blogs.

It's also something of a case study in clichés about second children in general; Isabel got weekly size comparison updates, Number Two gets a single note dashed off while his sister is distracted by brushing her teeth.

I promise this is the last time we won't have as much time for you as we do for her.

The doctor called and moved our c-section from noon to 7:30 am, which means we now have to be at the hospital at 5:30 instead of 10. Thats… kind of a bummer.

It's currently 10:42. In 9 hours, we will have a son.

Anybody else starting to get a little spooked by the weather?

Don't get me wrong, I like having lunch outside in short sleeves as much as anyone, but in the middle of February?

It's a good thing Climate Change isn't real, or I'd start to worry.

TWO!


Amazingly, she just turned two.  It's hard to believe, both that it's been that long and that we made it at all.

Well, that just about wraps it up for 2011

Good game, everyone.

Now, let's try NOT to have an apocalypse this year.

My Cube


Rarely does something speak to me on such a basic level.
